A NOTE FROM NICK
A trio of polished Pyrope matrix Garnet gemstone spheres. A very hard stone to polish (Garnet is usually used as an abrasive itself!) and not easy to find the rough to make these.
PRODUCT MINERALS
The Fiery Red Elegance Of Madagascar's Garnet
From the rugged, mineral rich landscapes of Madagascar emerges a captivating Garnet, a gemstone ablaze with deep, fiery hues ranging from rich crimson to warm burgundy, embodying the island’s wild and vibrant spirit. Typically a silicate mineral, Madagascar’s Garnets form under intense heat and pressure within metamorphic or igneous rocks, their crystalline structure yielding a robust Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7.5, making them durable treasures for collectors and jewellers alike.
